Water Purification in Developing Countries

This is the link to my presentation for my Green Engineering Scholars Seminar. We researched green solutions to water purification in developing countries, as it is a huge problem. We explored several options such as building wells, water collection systems, bio-sand filters, and grow and utilize Moringa Oleifera. Moringa is a shockingly useful plant that has extremely high nutritional value and can aid in the purification of turbid water. One of the most incredible properties of Moringa is that it thrives in harsh growing conditions, often found in developing areas of the world. Moringa has also been proven to be very helpful in Honduras when it was grown by Dr. Chris Ratcliff to benefit the surrounding community.
